Alli's Senior Prom

Alli's senior prom was Saturday night.

Being the obnoxious mother that I am I took several pictures of Alli waiting for her date...

Sitting

Texting

Yelling

Here she is pinning the boutonnière on her date Karac.

They are really good friends and Alli said she knew she would have a great night because he is so much fun.

On the front porch

And here is Cord taking his turn being the obnoxious parent...

The high schools around here still have a promenade. So each senior is introduced with their date and they walk down the courthouse steps to the cheers and flashing cameras of the parents (and uncle Joe's).

Here is Alli and Karac making their way down the steps.

It was super fun to watch!

Here Alli is with two of her really good friends (The girl in the middle - Emma will be Alli's roommate next year at USU).

Alli said she had a great night. It's hard to believe she will be graduating in a month!

Easter

Since we couldn't make it to Bountiful to hunt eggs with the cousins in Bountiful Cord and I threw together a hunt for our kids in the yard.

Will just found one in the rain spout

Barry spying an easy one in the screen

Cord hid some in the wood pile for fun

And in the tree

Here is Alli after she found the egg in the flag post. She just loves having her picture taken on an Easter egg hunt! Almost as much as...

I forgot to take pictures of the kids baskets this year but as I was downloading pictures tonight i noticed that one of the kids took a picture of "the parent's basket" you'll notice coconut m&m's for Cord and diet Coke for me! :)

This Easter was especially meaningful and we spent some time reflecting on the true meaning of Easter. We cried and talked about Camie and how we miss her-- but how lucky we are to know that we will see her again. We are grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Here are the kids before church. Squinting in the sun. It was a beautiful day!
